To keep a respectable distance is to be far enough away from something that it won't cause problems for someone / something else. A respectable distance isn't the same for each thing; rather, it's a distance that you feel should be appropriate in order to not become a hinderance.
To keep a discreet distance would be staying so far away from something that you are unnoticed.

Thanks! May I ask under what circumstances would one want to keep a discreet distance? I'm not exactly sure how it should be used..m(._.)m

I'd say it's best used figuratively.
For example: "You should probably keep a rather "discreet" distance away from the boss...he has a particularly short temper if you know what I mean."
In this way it implies use of caution. ^^
